The effect of short-chain fatty acids on glycemic control in humans: A systematic review and Meta-analysis. Vinegar decreased glucose response acutely in healthy and non-healthy. Acetate, propionate, butyrate, and mixed SCFAs had no effect on blood glucose and insulin in humans. Significant heterogeneity, risk of bias, and publication bias were identified in several study categories, including acute vinegar glucose response. As evidence was very uncertain, caution is urged when interpreting these results. Further high-quality research is required to determine the effect of SCFAs on glycemic control. |

Current World Health Organization recommendation to reduce free sugar intake from all sources to below 10% of daily energy intake for supporting overall health is not well-supported by available evidence. e., the unique effect of sugar, especially in the solid form, may indeed not pose a health risk for individuals apart from the potential to reduce the overall dietary nutrient density, although newer evidence suggests "low" sugar intake (<5% daily energy intake) is just as likely to be associated with nutrient dilution. We argue the current public health recommendations to encourage the reduction of both solid and liquid forms of free sugars intake (e. g., sugar reformulation programs) should be revised due to the over-extrapolation of results from SSBs studies. |
Estimates of child mortality reductions attributed to vitamin A supplementation in sub-Saharan Africa: scale-up, scale-back, or re-focus? Excess child mortality preventable by VAS has declined, but is still significant in many SSA countries. While scale-up of VAS is needed for most of the countries, scaling-back can also start to be considered in some countries. Policy decisions, however, should be guided by more recent data on food consumption, vitamin A status, child health, and vitamin A fortification coverage data. |
Metagenomic profile of the fecal microbiome of preterm infants consuming mother's own milk with bovine milk-based fortifier or infant formula: a cross-sectional study. This study provides insight into the influence of feeding MOM versus infant formula on the structure and function of the fecal microbiome of PT infants. |
Prospective study of breakfast frequency and timing and the risk of incident type 2 diabetes in community-dwelling older adults: The Cardiovascular Health Study. Eating breakfast daily was not associated with either higher or lower risk of T2DM in this cohort of older adults, while a later (after 09 00) daily first eating occasion time was associated with lower T2DM risk in participants with impaired fasting glucose at baseline. |
The impact of measurement errors on dietary pattern analysis: A simulation study based on dietary data from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC) Study. Measurement errors could distort dietary patterns and attenuate the dietary pattern-disease association. The stability of dietary patterns under measurement errors differs when using PCFA and KCA. |

HLA-DRB1*16 and -DQB1*05 alleles are strongly associated with autoimmune pancreatitis in a cohort of hundred patients. Although AIP type 1 and type 2 are characterized by distinct histopathological characteristics, both subtypes are associated with the same HLA alleles, indicating that the disease might rely on similar immunogenic mechanisms. However, AIP NOS represented another subclass of AIP. |
Impact of disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 12 on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma treated with surgical resection and perioperative chemotherapy. A negative prognostic value of high ADAM12 expression was observed in patients with PDAC treated with surgical resection, which was enhanced in patients treated with NAC, including nab-PTX. These results suggested that ADAM12 expression can predict nab-PTX chemosensitivity in PDAC and reflect PDAC progression. |
